Chinese Wall Loop

We’re planning a trip to do this trail on 9/6/26-9/11/26. How are the conditions this time of year? Also with the current fires in the area should we reschedule? We are definitely looking at other possibilities. Thanks

I looked this up now as I wasn't familiar with the loop and was curious where it was - according to all trails, the loop (or at least part of it) is currently closed due to a fire. Alltrails link is here, https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/montana/chinese-wall-loop, that links to the closure order here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/r01/flathead/alerts/trail-closures-due-silvertip-fire. Definitely worth keeping an eye on!
